The Governor said this at the Inter-denominational Special Thanksgiving service organized to thank God for the Supreme Court ruling that affirmed Armed Markafi as authentic Chairman of the People Democratic Party, PDP.
On the 12th of July 2017, the Supreme Court ruled that Armed Markafi is the Authentic National Chairman of the People Democratic Party. Ahmed Markafi dragged Ali Modu-sheriff to the apex court to affirm him as the chairman of the party after the court of appeal in Port Harcourt, Rivers State had in February this year, ruled that Former Borno State Governor, Senator Ali Modu-sheriff, was the authentic Chairman of the People Democratic Party.
The Thanksgiving service was held in Rivers State Ecumenical Center in Port Harcourt Sunday 16th July, 2017. Speaking at the event, Wike said that the ruling All Progressive Alliance, APC, after winning elections in 2015 has resorted to excuse and blame game instead of fulfilling the promises they made to Nigerians during the election campaigns.
"Two years after the mandate what is the situation? Excuse and blames without delivery. Look at how individuals took it upon themselves to destroy the party that gave them life. PDP PDP is the only party that is household name in Nigeria. There is no unit in the country without a member of the PDP". he said
He alleged that Sheriff is an agent of APC to cause havoc in PDP.
"While we are reconciling, we must be vigilant. Nobody will take me unawares. Satan will never sleep. Satan will always find ways to cause havoc. Sheriff is an agent of the APC. Woe beside person who is a mole of the deadly party."
The Governor said that going further Rivers State must get return on her contribution to the PDP.
"As we help you, help us. If don't help us, we won't help you. All of us must start from our unit, ward and local governments area to mobilize people".
He canvassed total loyalty to the PDP. Saying that the party is Supreme. According to him, in reconstituting the State Executive Council, only very loyal and committed former commissioners will be re-appointed.
"God saved PDP because of Rivers State. We don't have plan B. Every other state had plan B. Our enemy will be put to shame time to time. Rivers State is the strongest PDP state". he said
